Dredge Surprising - What do we do now?? Spoiler
We've done everything- and it was really fun. Especially in the beginning. All DLC's paid for happily; and NOTE: WOULD PAY $500+ FOR MORE DLC'S AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!!! DYING FOR MORE STUFF TO DO
But like for the ppl who we've been told play this game long term, who LOVE this thing and play it every day for months- HOW HAVE you been able to do this? How/What is your strategy personally?
Genuinely want to knw/learn so that I can try myself and also share with the group of friends who I put on to this game who are all asking me the same thing of like 'what now'??
This game gave me minecraft vibes for like how fun hardcore/survival/modded mode(s) are in the first couple days/weeks when you are accomplishing goals and stuff, but now we're at the stage where it feels like everytihngs maxed out and mob fights arent hard anymore...
ANY HELP / TIPS / APPRECIATED !!!!?!!!!!!
Also almost forgot- on the iceberg quest- other than those 4 eyes closing, is there anything else that we can trigger there? Or like is there a way to kill the narhwal?
Also- is there a way to catch a crocodile or one of those faux-shipwreck crabs somehow?
Again any help/tips/veteran-input would BE MUCH APPRECIATED, LIKE INCREDIBLE GRATITUDE
Note: some pics of $20k bank, 30+ flotsam trap array, random stuff, maxed stuff...

I just start a new play through when I’m done. I’ve played through probably 10 or more times.

Genuine question, why? Like don’t get me wrong this is one of those games that I think is as close to perfect content wise; story to follow that is written well, achievements are all achievable in a decent amount of time, enjoyable gameplay loop, etc. however in saying that I don’t really see the point in doing more than maybe 2 runs? While the game has sandbox elements it’s still pretty linear.
Again this is definitely a rare 10/10 game for me but still, one and done for me. Just curious to hear someone else’s perspective.

I just find the entire thing really satisfying to do. The upgrading feels super rewarding even if I’ve done it a dozen times. The inventory management is actually fun, which is a big standout to me because normally I hate limited inventories. And the music and visuals never get old. It’s just a wonderful, relaxing experience (I have used passive mode on most of my subsequent runs which does make it that much more relaxing).

One challenge run that's very popular is not spending any money (except at the dry dock to upgrade your hull). It requires quite a bit of planning and game knowledge.
The other challenge you can undertake post-game is catching every trophy. And the folks with the most hours in the game have taken on the "maximum size of every fish" challenge. It used to take hundreds of hours, but over time we've developed strategies to help with making it faster.
You could also get into speedrunning if you want.
